Eddie Daniels Expressions Ligatures

Removing performance boundaries at every level….

Designed in collaboration with renowned woodwind icon Eddie Daniels, the Eddie Daniels Expressions Ligature series removes the traditional boundaries of sound production and offers players at every level an expanded freedom of expression. The innovative “air channel” design combined with uniquely-sourced materials offers a noticeably greater sense of balanced overtones and effortless warmth of tone.

Eddie Daniels “Gold”

Specially selected patented material, with gold plated posts, plate and screws, adds incredible warmth and projection noticed by the finest professional players.

Eddie Daniels “Carbon Fiber”

Specially selected patented material combines with carbon fiber plate, posts/screws, to provide a unique response with a degree of warmth preferred by many professional players.

Eddie Daniels “Blue”

A lighter weight patent-pending material with a narrower channel and blue anodized metal fittings creating a vibrant and satisfying response Eddie Daniels approves!

Thank you at @Jewelmusicalproducts for the new Eddie Daniels Ligatures, I’m loving them! Do you think a Ligature can change your sound I do!

The Eddie Daniels ligature assists in centering my core sound and tone flexibility throughout the entire range of the instrument. Highly recommended!

I like the ligatures a great deal and really like the carbon fiber model.  I normally play the Silverstein Estro and I have been quite happy with it.  The carbon fiber seems to focus the sound a bit more for me, without losing the resonance.  It would also be much easier to make fast clarinet switches from A to Bb clarinet.  This is the Achilles heel of the Silverstein. I think they are both good ligatures, but the carbon fiber really works well for me, LOVE IT!

The new Eddie Daniels-model clarinet ligature is a wonderful addition to the world of ligatures. I recently played on one and was literally blown-away by the results. I experienced a greater sense of balanced overtones and warmth in the tone. The response for subtle beginnings of notes and varied articulations beats any ligature I’ve played. My colleagues at the Broadway show where I work were quick to comment on the positive results. Bravo for creating it.

“The Eddie Daniels ligatures are excellent ligatures. They have a nice combination of vibration and warmth!

Anthony McGill, Principal Clarinetist for the New York Philharmonic

“I’ve been looking for a ligature like this all my life – I finally found it – I am thrilled!”

Eddie Daniels

The Eddie Daniels ligature offers something truly new to the woodwind market.! I am always exploring new techniques and equipment that can propel my technical and artistic trajectory. This Eddie Daniels ligature does just that.

This ligature allows the reed to vibrate freely and the full spectrum of harmonics to be available for the player to shape into a personal sound.

Like Eddie Daniels himself, this ligature represents excellence and must be experienced.

Chris Collins, Valade Chair in Jazz, Wayne State University President/Artistic Director, Detroit Jazz Festival Foundation

“There is a clarity of sound, a consistency in tone quality, and an ease of projection that you don’t find in other ligatures.  These ligatures are an absolute pleasure to play on!

Thank you for introducing me to this ligature!”

Malena McLaren, D.M.A., Music Department Chair and Professor of Clarinet NSULA

The Eddie Daniels ligatures are truly superb, they enable the player flexibility, while giving a rich and responsive sound. AMAZING!

Joseph Lulloff, Professor of Saxophone Michigan State University

I am extremely impressed with your Eddie Daniels Signature Series Gold ligature!  It allows all registers, including the altissimo to have a round, clear and vibrant tone, excellent response, clear, easy articulation and outstanding dynamics from ppp-fff.  Congratulations!  I will begin using it immediately!

“For twenty years I’ve played the same ligature. During that time, I have tried countless different models, and this is the first one that has compelled me to switch. It has a lovely, focused sound and amazing response. It’s the  best ligature I’ve played.”

Sam Martin, Clarinet Associate Professor, Wayne State University Michigan Opera Theater

“I never thought I would be excited over a clarinet ligature but I am now. The new Eddie Daniels ligatures have everything I want in them. Warm sound, power, flexibility, and I can go back-and-forth between classical and jazz in an instant. And Eddie Daniels plays one and that’s good enough for me!”

Marty Nau , Former lead alto saxophonist U.S. Navy Commodores jazz ensemble

“The Eddie Daniels ligature allows every reed to resonate to its most free-blowing potential.”

Danny Janklow

I really enjoy both for alto AND soprano! Wow!

It is really hard for me to find ligatures that actually make a noticeable difference that is worth investing in. These really make a substantial change in both projection and core sound. They really allow flexibility in order to manipulate my sound further. On both my Selmer and Vandoren mouthpieces, they work really well! I am looking forward to continuing to use them and explore the even more excellent qualities they hold. Not only do they sound great, both finishes look very sleek and they fit well on the mouthpiece. I frequently find ligatures that are either too tight, too loose, or move around too much. This are nice and snug! I couldn’t ask for more.

The Eddie Daniels signature series ligatures are terrific!  The warmth, resonance, flexibility and tonal cover allows the reed to vibrate and the sound to sparkle. The new signature gold series ligature has become my new favorite! WOW!
